Kristen Lindsey, the Texas veterinarian who killed a cat with a bow and arrow and bragged about it on Facebook, has lost appeals to her license suspension in court. The Third Court of Appeals in Texas issued a judgment on April 27 that upheld a decision to suspend Lindsey’s veterinary license for five years. The court also ordered Lindsey to pay all costs related to her appeals.

[In] April 2015, when the veterinarian used a bow and arrow to shoot Tiger, an orange-and-white cat who wandered into her yard, and posted a gruesome photo of it on Facebook.

Lindsey’s Facebook photo sparked worldwide outcry to remove her from the practice of veterinary medicine. In it, a smiling Lindsey held Tiger by the arrow she had shot through his head. “My first bow kill lol,” read the photo’s caption. “The only good feral tomcat is one with an arrow through its head! Vet of the year award…gladly accepted.”

Surreptitiously took pictures of his neighbors' young girls naked in their bathroom. Did a few years in prison in WA. Lord knows what else he may have done. Any hope of finding Susan's body probably died with him. At his sentencing hearing in 2015, 3 years after Josh torched himself and his boys, he said this:

"Josh Powell lived for his sons. He was an innocent man up until the last day of his life."

" I saw my wife strangling my daughter on the baby monitor" "that's when I killed her in a fit of rage"
Sure pal, so why did you dump your dead beautiful daughters in a barrel of oil? Dying slowly on the anthill isn't enough ,let's pour kerosene in his eyes.

How about a mistake at the jail house and he gets put in general population.

Yeah... yeah... they're addicts but I still think they are POS for doing this.

Addicts using pets to score drugs, veterinarians warn

As animal lovers, veterinarians pride themselves on being trusting and caring people.

They don’t want to believe anyone would intentionally hurt their pet, but in recent years, they’ve had to train themselves to look out for those who do just that as drug addicts turn toward animals to score pain medication they can’t easily access.

“We would never think of people using or abusing these drugs,” Dr. Duffy Jones, owner of Peachtree Hills Animal Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, told CBS News. “We typically believe what people tell us and we don’t want a pet in pain, but now we’re taking a bit more of a critical look at exactly what the client is like and what the dog is like — does it fit?”

Vets say drug users are often looking for Tramadol, an oral medication that has opiate-like effects. WTSP
Jones said the training starts in veterinarian school but has expanded to animal hospitals across the country as more and more report incidents with clients.

“We’re always looking for signs of animal abuse,” Jones added.

Twenty years ago, vets were told to closely examine pets, looking for recurring wounds and grilling their owners. Now, vets are told to take a close look at owners as well.

“We’re really looking for things that don’t match up,” Jones said. “As we start to question the owner, we look at the owner’s response.”

Vets are extra cautious when they’re seeing new clients. Those typically tend to be the people who try to score drugs, Jones said.

“The ones being abused aren’t seeing us regularly; they’re moving from vet to vet,” he said.

If the pet owners refuse to allow the hospital to get a hold of previous records or come in actively looking for drugs by name — like Tramadol, for example — that triggers an alarm for vets. Vets are then advised to look for a drug-free, safe alternative to treat the injured animal.

Veterinarians across the country have reported cases of owners using their pets to get their hands on Tramadol, an oral medication that has opiate-like effects.

“It’s a fairly safe narcotic,” Jones said. “We use it a lot. We like it and it’s relatively inexpensive.”

Dr. John Gicking, a veterinarian at Blue Pearl in Tampa, Florida, told CBS affiliate WTSP he also looks for red flags in owners whenever he prescribes the drug.

“Prescriptions are being used up faster or they have been reported to being spilled multiple times,” Gicking said.

In Kentucky, police say, a dog owner named Heather Pereira, 23, cut her dog with razor blades just so she could take the dog’s pain medication in 2014. She was sentenced to four years in prison, WSB-TV reports.

Then in Oregon last year, a raid led to 100,000 Tramadol pills and a rescue of over a dozen dogs, WTSP reports.

At Peachtree Hills Animal Hospital, Jones said they haven’t had an instance where they thought somebody was abusing the animal just to get to the drugs. But he believes there have been some who are taking their dog’s medication and refilling it early.

“It’s just as bad because if a dog’s in pain, they really need them,” Jones said.

my former supervisor left for a new job and despite me repeatedly requesting handoffs and information on several things she had the knowledge base on, never happened despite her telling me the whole time we were like family and in everything together. what a POS.
